I ve never played RE4...Should I try it?

CVX is amazing, but you still have to play RE4 too. That game is also amazing.

I think the choice was correct based on the games you've played so far. Go easy on ammunition because this is quite possibly the hardest of the traditional RE games...

I still don't understand why everybody thinks CV is so hard. I had more trouble with RE0, 1 and 3 than with CV. They give you so much ammo in this game and the anti bow grenade rounds can take care of the tyrant. Not to mention that every regular zombie and cerberus can be easily killed with the knife in this game.

The feeling is mutual...me and my friend beat RE0 very easily but you continually talk about how hard it was

You're right, I guess. But RE0 didn't have the super overpowered knife that CV had. I mean, you could even kill most bosses with it (including the tyrant on the plane), and in CV it was a lot easier to dodge enemies than in RE0 and REmake (because of gameplay mechanics and wider area's), but I guess everybody has different thoughts about difficulty.

I think the thing about CVX that really got me is how long the actual game goes for. A lot of areas and challenges.

I still remember thinking the first time I played it when I beat the (spoiler) tyrant on the plane I was very close to the end. Didn't get that feeling since the original and that is what made it such a great RE game.

That's why you keep that knife on hand at all times no matter the situation. ;P

The tyrant fight is uber harder.

He was easy. I've beaten him with a knife in like 3 tries with only 3 health sprays. He's overrated imo.

Yes. I highly recommend you get your hands on this masterpiece

Oh and also its great that youve started resident evil with 2 and 3 but you cant forget about the other games :3 try and play them when you can by borrowing from a friend or something. I guarantee they will be just as satisfying as 2 and 3

Exactly. While Gaiden might not be canon it's still an awesome game.

Isn't that what he said? "Even play the NON CANON spin off's, especially gaiden"

I thought we told you to stop staring up at the sun during the day Mass...

And Gaiden was terrible. Let's be honest.

That depends on ones preferences.

If you can't stand playing really old school games then I can see it would look and feel terrible. Not that I would agree, I grew up with NES and Amiga.

I love old school games too (I finished frigging Ninja Gaiden on the NES, that should say enough), so I think I'd love Gaiden.

Maybe if Gaiden was released in the 8 bit period it would be really popular. You never know.

RE4 is a great action game. But its a terrible RE game.

Its focuses on action at the expense of any atmosphere. The story is pretty naff by RE standards, Leon's character is ruined in the game, and theres quite a few enemies with the magical 'glowing yellow hitpoint parasite'.

What I never liked was that I had so much ammo I couldnt it it all in my suitcase. I mean, backwards spanish townsfolk with Pitchforks were dropping 15 shotgun shells or 30 handgun rounds when you killed them and they bubbled/dissolved into thin air. It always felt laughable and daft in that respect. But the game was never meant to be survival horror. it was always meant to be an action game which IMO is when the series declined.
